Lovely recipe, Michael!! :)


Thanks Michael for sending me this wonderful recipe. I also flagged it as beautiful cause it made my mouth water just looking at the enlarged picture. I'll have to check into two of your ingredients I'm not familiar with, Tempeh & Brag Amino acid. Where's the best type of store to find them? This is most certainly 5 forks treat.


Oh, yummy, yummy, yummy! Looks like this recipe and your terrific photos will take me over the edge and into my first tempeh adventure! I can't wait!


This makes me want to give up meat altogether!! Well...almost...but it's still a great post!


This is fantastic, love everything about it! Great seasonings in this and nice pictures, too!
Did you know there isn't actually a Russian dressing like this in Russia? I'm sure same is with French and Italian ones. I do love the dressing though, it goes great with Rueben!


Wow, Michael - I'm not even remotely a vegetarian and I am totally jonesing for this Reuben beauty. High 5 for the very interesting recipe and I flagged you for beauty - great picture and composition, m'dear. Bravissimo!! :) Vickie


Simply Amazing, WOW..........What a healthy, delicious sandwich. You can make a fortune with these beauties.


Yummy I am a huge fan of tempeh and still make it all the time even though I'm no longer vegan...will definitely throw one of these babies together next time I have some hanging around. Never thought to add capers to my Russian/1k Island Dressing before. Thanks for the great idea :)
